  • Let's break out our 10" saw and our thick sintered blade to slice through 4 BIG and chunky agates! These agates are Lake Superior agates and are Daniels. I am cutting them for him and I was over the moon about how amazing they turned out!! A group of studs!

    They are all beautiful but I have to say, #2 was amazing. I was first introduced to the world of crystals rocks and minerals when I was young when I met a geologist named John Patnoid ( not sure if spelling) . He gave me a box of different finds and I was hooked. When he was in country, his home base was next door to my dad's work. I became a pesky visitor and he became a very patient teacher.
    Very fond memories and a lifelong love of all things crystal, agate, geode you name it. TY Mr. Patnode

    Agate Dad I stated watching your videos last year and you have put a passion in me to come up to the North Shore to find an agate. Just to let you know that I am 74 years young and this is a bucket list trip for me. We have already rented our cabin outside of Duluth. So it will be a pretty far trip from Southern Alabama’s coastal area. Hope to see you out looking for Agates somewhere. Keep up the videos, learning a lot from them.

  • @E.o.t.4637
    @E.o.t.4637 Год назад

    OMG the white one is AmaZING?! Why? It has bands! and it's kind of rare to find white with bands because it's quartz!!! Yes ALL are truly beautiful but I'm sticking with the white bands! Go for the underdog!😁

  • @MrTurtleMontana

    Regarding the limonite stained agate (#3)...
    What really blew me away were the individual (and completely separated) quartz clusters between each of the fortification bands! That is a very unique feature, which I have never seen before! Just imagine the geological conditions that had to exist in order for that to occur. Mind-blowing!
    That's one heck of a find, and some pretty good cuttin' skillz! 😉
    Many thanks to Daniel for sharing them with you ... and many thanks to you for sharing them with us!

    @natascharank5604 Год назад

    Just noted when I saw the stones in the water at the end of the video that the black and the white one are a wonderful pair placed next to each other, like they complement each other. And I really could not say who is my favorite. They are all great in their own way. The white one makes me feel like it clears my mind with its milky depths. It`s kind of relaxing not being able to focus on anything in particular. The black one is powerful of course, also very structured. Helps to focus and center. The big guy appears to have a whole story going on in it, would place it on my desk and see if in time from the corner of my eyes I could see some beings taking on form in there. Good for meditation. The last one, that reminds a little bit of a drop, could support anything that has to do with flow. Like a piece of music. I would want it around in a music room or any room used for creative work. Thank you for your video, I have found it very inspiring 🌸
